  • Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22
    Education and Learning Strategy 2018/22 101240 (10.18) Welcome Welcome to Lambeth’s Education and Learning Strategy 2018–22 which looks ahead to the next few years and outlines our shared ambition for our learners of all ages. It has been developed in partnership between schools, other educational establishments and the Council. We want Lambeth to continue to be at the forefront of change and improvement in education, retaining good relationships between education providers and the Council and building on our collective strengths and achievements. We have strong partnerships between schools, colleges, neighbouring authorities, families, local communities and the Council that enable us to work towards securing an autonomous and self- improving education system. This commitment to raising standards is supported by a sound infrastructure of early years provision in our childcare, nursery school and children centre provision. Our charter for education and learning encapsulates our aspirations and ways of working together (see appendix 1, page 8). The overwhelming majority of Lambeth schools have chosen to retain their close working relationship with the Council. In 2017 the Lambeth Schools Partnership was launched to sustain high quality outcomes and excellent teaching and learning across the borough. The partnership is united in its vision that schools and other education settings should build on an existing culture of collaborative working to enable all the borough’s children and young people to experience the best possible education opportunities, outcomes and life chances. This Strategy is aligned to the overall role of the Council in supporting growth, improving community resilience, enhancing place and providing support to the vulnerable.

From 12 - 23 February 2020 the UK’s leading children’s festival, Imagine, returns to Southbank Centre for its nineteenth year with twelve days of the highest-quality international performance, music, literature, comedy, creativity, parties, participation and free fun for children aged 0-11 and their grownups. The full programme will be announced on 2 December. Culminating at the festival is Imagine a Story : a nationwide creative writing project provided for free to primary schools and teachers devised by Southbank Centre and delivered with author Sharna Jackson ( High-Rise Mystery , Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week), illustrator Dapo Adeola (Look Up!; The Last Last Day of Summer ) and Brixton-based publishers and founders of #BooksMadeBetter, Knights Of .

  • Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Haworth Tompkins
    Conservation Management Plan For The National Theatre Final Draft December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Conservation Management Plan for the National Theatre Final Draft - December 2008 Haworth Tompkins Ltd 19-20 Great Sutton Street London EC1V 0DR Front Cover: Haworth Tompkins Ltd 2008 Theatre Square entrance, winter - HTL 2008 Foreword When, in December 2007, Time Out magazine celebrated the National Theatre as one of the seven wonders of London, a significant moment in the rising popularity of the building had occurred. Over the decades since its opening in 1976, Denys Lasdun’s building, listed Grade II* in 1994. has come to be seen as a London landmark, and a favourite of theatre-goers. The building has served the NT company well. The innovations of its founders and architect – the ampleness of the foyers, the idea that theatre doesn’t start or finish with the rise and fall of the curtain – have been triumphantly borne out. With its Southbank neighbours to the west of Waterloo Bridge, the NT was an early inhabitant of an area that, thirty years later, has become one of the world’s major cultural quarters. The river walk from the Eye to the Design Museum now teems with life - and, as they pass the National, we do our best to encourage them in. The Travelex £10 seasons and now Sunday opening bear out the theatre’s 1976 slogan, “The New National Theatre is Yours”. Greatly helped by the Arts Council, the NT has looked after the building, with a major refurbishment in the nineties, and a yearly spend of some £2million on fabric, infrastructure and equipment.
